A prompt to build your own version of Intercom

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Intercom-style app, first version

Build a web app for a small business that wants AI customer support on its website. Create a chat widget, an AI helper based on pasted FAQ text, and a support inbox. The main screen should show conversations with a preview of each latest message. Clicking a conversation opens its history and a reply box. Visitors can open a chat bubble, send a question, and ask for a human reply. Include a widget preview page. Use a clean white design with blue accents and rounded chat bubbles. Start with realistic sample FAQs and simulated conversations and AI replies. Keep the first version focused on one business and one website.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.
